This is the error message I get when I hit a suprnova link:
Unauthorized download
We're sorry, but this downlod request cannot be authorized. There could be several reasons for this:
1) You clicked on a link on an *unofficial* SuprNova.org mirror. We do not allow that kind of external hotlinking. This site creates a great deal of traffic and it's hard to find a good hosting. We will not provide the bandwith for other sites. Please visit SuprNova.org and you can download all the torrents you want.
2) You're using a download manager. But there's a solution to this problem:
Set up your download manager to send a HTTP referer, and when you click on a link on the SuprNova.org site the download will be authorized. Here's how you can do this in Getright:
Go to Getright Configuration, under Advanced/Protocol check Send "Referer" in HTTP Request and then select Calculated from open web browser page.
The setup should be similar for other download managers.
3) Your browser did not send a referer. This normally happens if you right click on a link and select save-as, or if you copy and paste a link into a new browser window and press Enter. It may also be that your browser is set up to not send any referer. But left clicking on a link works just fine and has been tested in IE6, Netscape 6, Opera6, Firefox and Safari
Some software firewalls, for instance the Norton Personal Firewall (which is also part of Norton Internet Security) or ZoneAlarm remove the referer from HTTP requests which will block any downloads on any site that does a referer check. Hence such options should always be turned off. In Norton you have to go to the Privacy Settings and disable browser privacy (which doesn't really protect your privacy anyway as your IP address will always be logged regardless of that setting), in ZoneAlarm you have to go to Privacy -> Cookie Control -> Custom and uncheck "remove private header information".
Software like AdSubstract also blocks the referer and makes downloads impossible.
We're sorry for any inconvenience this may cause and hope you understand our reasons for doing so. Bandwith doesn't come cheap and we have to do all we can to keep the bandwith usage down.
I have tried all the tips that apply to me but no nothing works.Has anyone else had this problem? Thanks
FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION IT COMES BUNDLED WITH THE SOFTWARE |

this is the one that fixed it for me - i turned off/on the http/browser bits in norton and turned off windows firewall

It is ONLY when i right-click and use "save as", that i have this problem. Otherwise it works ok. By the way,I also use Norton and it also works on other torrent-sites.

Hey guyz still having the same problem, i think something might be wrong with suprnova, as i used another torrent prog (BitTorrent 3.4.2) and when ever i try to save any torrent file, it saves it as an HTML instead of a .Torrent file.
Any 1 know how to fix this yet?

sp2 installed just before i hit this problem
suprnova put a statement on the site saying about limiters to do with the hot link problem maybe a combination of both and a choice of browser is the problem ?

i think and its a big i think
it may have something to do with the privacy restrictions in "internet options" in IE
play around with the level of cookie control
probably set it to low to allow first party cookies that use personally identifiable info
hey its a stab in the dark

Had the same trouble. All started after i installed SP2. Tried messing around with my norton settings and with my IE6 settings. Nothing worked and the problem remained. So I decided to try using different browsers. I tried suprnova's links with mozilla 1.7.3 and guess what? Yep it worked, no silly unauthorized download message. So there you go, problem solved, no thanks to microsoft.

thats odd i was having no problem downloading with IE6
even after SP2 everything worked perfect it was when i installed mozilla that it quit working (doesnt mozilla come with an intergrated DL manager) i thought that was the problem but even after completley uninstalling mozilla i still get this same error. i am almost to the point of completly reinstalling OS

first, we all whine because ms accepts cookies that could track you around the net. now, we blame them for not sharing the page your coming from with the server your going to.
how about instead of ragging on microsoft for protecting your privacy, you figure out where the option is?
currently, i am trying in both ie and FireFox and get patchy success at best (server timeouts and such included). anyone else having connection problems?
